I considered reviewing Debian for this article. I downloaded a copy of Debian 3.0r2, making sure to get the disk with the 2.4 kernel. Everything you've heard about Debian being difficult to install? It's not totally true, but it's pretty close. I really wanted to try Debian, though, if only to use the vaunted apt-get system. I'd tried apt-rpm on a previous Red Hat installation, and it was great. Since Debian was turning out to be too difficult to put together, I decided to look for a debian-based distro.

NTFS is the best filesystem for a modern win machine. It's so much FASTER and efficient than FAT or FAT32 its ridiculous to compare. You sound like a windows newb AND a PC newb in general z1xq.
I've been running NTFS/ReiserFS dual boot machine for over 3 years. Of course I can't write to the Win partition, but of course, that's why I have a separate Samba server for data storage.
Finally name me a SINGLE CLOSED SOURCE tool that you used on SuSE, no really just one. Don't even dream of saying YaST because it's NOT closed source. It's quite open. The ONLY licensing restriction to taking, modifying or redistributing YaST is that you have to label it as owned by SuSE. While that licensing is a bit more restrictive than strict GPL , it ain't by much. SuSE takes tremendous criticism from ignorant linux noobs (usually recent Debian or ugh, Gentoo converts) who have never bothered to research the license before spouting off on it. I don't think you're qualified to review a) windows partition efficiencies, b) windows partitioning tools, c) linux licensing, let alone differentiating between open and closed source.
